    The Origin Of My Classic Toy Obsession



    I hunted down these t-shirts, remembering the two stores I most associate with getting my favorite superhero stuff back in the day. I picked up my Mead school supplies at Two Guys or the Hall of Justice at Kiddie City. I think Kiddie City was Playworld for most of you, but it was Kiddie City in Philly. The Two Guys we went to even had an arcade in the back with my favorite pinball machine (at the time)- Lost World.

      I used to love the Kiddie City in Burlington, NJ. The building is still there.

            Two stores where I know I got toys from. There was a Kiddie City in Lawnside, NJ, a Two Guys in Marlton, NJ, we also had a Korvettes in Audubon/Mt Ephram, NJ and a Kmart where I grew up in Berlin, NJ. Remember all of them like it was yesterday.

                  "We save money for you at Two Guys.....Naturally!"
                  "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                  'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                  Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                  If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                    That's very cool.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
